Dan Malloy has defeated Republican Tom Foley to become the first Democrat in two decades to be elected governor of Connecticut.

The Associated Press on Friday reinstated its call of Malloy as the winner of the governor's race.

The AP initially called Malloy the winner on Wednesday, after Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said her preliminary count showed Malloy had won by 3,103 votes, but withdrew the call Wednesday night when its vote count, with all but a handful of precincts reporting, showed Foley with a narrow lead.

Bridgeport elections officials handed the final numbers over to Bysiewicz on Friday afternoon.

i wish the gop will seriously investigate this. Ever since the Bush 2000, every close race recount always go to the DEM. They always find missing ballots. Think the corruption occur with the those who’s actually doing the counting? They may need to consider introducing a different voting system to reduce human being involved in the counting

The last precincts to be counted almost always end up being from urban neighborhoods. More often then not those areas favor Democrats. And those are also the ones most likely to have voting problems. They also end up usually staying open late because the line to vote in those neighborhoods are 3-4 hours long...sometimes longer.

Most Republican-rich precincts are from rural areas and don’t have the volume that urban areas do. So they are able to count the votes quickly there with limited problems. The Republican need to have a good lead. Because it’s usually the Democrat that closes the gap towards the finish line.

And...if the Republican candidate is too spineless to fight for an investigation...then there is really nothing anyone can do. I know that if I voted for a candidate that didn’t care to make sure the election was fair...I’d be furious!!

I’m stinkin’ ticked off about these races...and finding votes...come on people, let’s FIGHT.

We should hold back a few bags and boxes of votes in a few of these races and make them magically appear just after the RATS are done with their cheating.

Let’s see how they like it...scum...(I’m only half kidding at this point.)
